While intensity is greater back then, pace today is definitely faster. If you disagree, you can calculate shots played per second now vs before. Today's badminton plays more shots per second but it's mainly due to there being so many dead balls/neutral shots whereas back then it was like every shot was played with the intent of making it difficult to return. Nowadays players would gladly give it flat and to the middle (easy to return) as long as it meant you didn't have a kill option (no angles to work with).

The way these two legends in badminton kept pushing the shuttle to the back, doing the variations, and deft net play and all at that intensity, it blows my mind. Badminton has never been more interesting to watch.

4:04 What a smash from LD. LCW's lift was good, but LD killed it anyway. Look at where LD's feet landed after hitting. He was completely outside of the court. Even Axelsen doesn't have many winning smashes from far back.
@teflondave78234 ай бұрын
LD did jump backwards from the inner double service line and landed outside of the court. It was a very well placed sliced jump smash. Few will get their racket to this one. But the problem with the lift lies in the movement of LD's feet. Just look at them while LCW plays the lift. LD totally reads LCW like an open book. LCW serves that nice lift on a service platter to LD and LD takes his time and hammers it down on the line.

Maybe not the best, but unforced error wise it looks like a top contender. Very few errors have been made at the net and both players have kept the shuttle in the field pretty nicely. But those loose shots, long and wide, might have been edited out.

2022 Axelsen and 2019 Momota can only dream of playing like this. rally at 12:26 is just out of this world. Classic example of Lee Chong Wei bottling a major final against LD, but then again this is LD and you could argue that there's no such thing as bottling it against him because when he wants to turn it on, he's unstoppable and mentally unflappable.

@lawXIII9 ай бұрын
It was because at that time, only the server can get a point. If you are a returner (in which was the case for LD there), you have to break the server's serve to get your serve(which gives you 0 point but in return, you gets to serve next), and only after you start your own serve and win it only then you get a point. In short, you only get a point during your own serve, not your opponent's.
